FAQ — Train station ↔ Lyon Airport transfer

How do I get from Lyon Part-Dieu or Perrache station to Lyon Airport?

From Lyon Part-Dieu, two main options: the Rhônexpress (€16.40/person, 29 min to LYS, runs 6 am to midnight) or a TAL private transfer (60€ / vehicle up to 4 passengers, door-to-door 24/7). From Perrache, the Rhônexpress requires going to Part-Dieu first — a TAL private transfer at 60€ from Perrache is the most direct solution.

What is the difference between a taxi and a private transfer to the airport from a train station?

A taxi uses a meter: the final price depends on traffic. A private driver like TAL fixes the price at booking — you know the exact amount before you get in. Pre-booking is required (no hailing on the street), which guarantees availability even at off-peak hours or at night.

Is there a private transfer available 24/7 at Lyon Part-Dieu?

TAL operates 24/7 on booking — for late-night TGV connections or very early morning departures. A 20% night surcharge applies between 10 pm and 6 am.

Can I book a transfer from a regional train station (Grenoble, Annecy, Chambéry) to LYS?

Yes. TAL serves all major train stations in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. From Grenoble (168€), Annecy (195€) or Chambéry (148€), a private transfer is the most direct option — no vehicle change between the station and the airport.

How much does a private driver from Lyon Part-Dieu to LYS cost for 4 people?

The rate is 60€ for the entire vehicle (up to 4 passengers), luggage included. That's 15€ per person — comparable to the Rhônexpress (€16.40/person) but door-to-door, with pick-up at the station and drop-off at the terminal. For 2 or more passengers with luggage, the private transfer is often the most practical option.

Will the driver meet me inside the station?

For train arrivals, the driver waits in the station concourse (or an agreed meeting point) with a name sign. For departures, they pick you up at your hotel or address before heading to the station or airport. The driver's number is sent to you the day before the ride.

TGV stations → Lyon Airport: everything you need to know

The Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region has several major TGV and SNCF stations: Lyon Part-Dieu (national hub), Lyon Perrache, Saint-Étienne Châteaucreux, Grenoble, Annecy, Chambéry. Each is within 3 hours of Lyon Saint-Exupéry Airport — but most have no direct Rhônexpress connection.

For travellers making a connection (TGV → international flight or flight → TGV), a fixed-price private transfer is the only solution that guarantees your pick-up time and final price in advance. A street taxi from Perrache or Grenoble can vary by 20–40% depending on traffic on the Lyon ring road.

TAL (Transfert Aéroport Lyon) serves all these stations. Driver based in Chassieu, 10 minutes from LYS. Online booking with instant SMS confirmation — ideal for transit travellers who need certainty about their connection.
